Late start, lots of traffic, in Raleigh finally!

---

It was a good plan - leave the house at noon, make the 5 1/2 hour drive to Raleigh, check in to the hotel, find someplace nice for dinner ...

Well, we left home at 2:30pm (we got carried away doing 'last minute' yard chores we should have done a few days ago!). Immediately the GPS warned us of a 2-hour delay on I-95 south of DC. So, we took the non-highway route for the first 2 hours of the trip. Once we got back on the interstates we made pretty good time, rolled into Raleigh at about 8:30pm.

Found the first suitable-looking restaurant (since we were not very suitable for any place 'nice').
Now it is 10pm, we are checked into our room, and we'll have no trouble sleeping tonight.

There's a restaurant across the street named 'Biscuitville' - we might be visiting there tomorrow morning...

Yea, it's a b---h getting through the District. I've tried every concievable way, and if it's not traffic on the Beltway it's traffic on 95 or 295 or 66 or 29, pick one. Hope things get better.
